Name: Cassidia Age: 24 Sex: Female Profession: Childbearer Location: Fertility Tribe Territory/Fertility Hospital Affiliations: Fertility Tribe Disposition: Standoffish, blunt, but compliant with her purpose.
Character Background and Description
Cassidia is one of the members of the fertility tribe, destined for a life of childbearing and nothing more, a fact that she has resigned to accepting rather than resisting. Standing at about 5’8” and 176lbs, she has soft facial features, dark eyes, and long, rather unkempt medium-brown hair that is always worn down. Her face is freckled and rosy across the cheeks, a trait she inherited from her parents, but otherwise has seen very little sunlight exposure and is almost shockingly pale. Due to her upper class status and prime position in the fertility tribe, she is well taken care of by the staff that tend to expecting mothers and lives off of leftover rations from before the war provided by the military tribe, a luxury kept from most of the population. Though she longs for a life outside of the confines of her tribe, she is burdened by the guilt that being fertile means, in a twisted way, that she is one of the lucky ones. She has already mothered three children, two boys and a girl, but she often tries to push the memories of them from her mind. It is easier to forget they ever existed than to remember that she will most likely never see them again in her lifetime.
In most situations, Cassidia is standoffish–pithy with her words and private about her emotions. If it were not for her mandatory childbearing purpose in the population of Gator Bay, she would have tried to run away a long time ago in search of a life where she was not constrained to a single task for her lifespan as her parents and grandparents had been before her. Beneath her outward demeanor of cool-headed aloofness, Cassidia is terrified of the supposedly-inevitable point in her life where she will stop producing children. Despite her tribemates’ reassurance that fertility is a gift from God, she can’t shake the knowledge that the families before her own had medical research that told of humans' fertility rate dropping steadily after their mid-thirties.
As far as personal possessions go, she has very little outside of the clothes on her back and a plain gold ring from her mother, worn on her right pinkie. In her profession, there is no need for material objects, so she holds the value of personal possessions very low.
